“Savage Beauty” is a powerful lenticular artwork that blends two striking images: a personal portrait of the late Alexander McQueen, taken by Gary in 2008, and a golden skull, a symbol synonymous with the McQueen brand. The skull’s haunting presence overlays McQueen's face, creating a compelling contrast between life and mortality. With subtle photo- manipulated images of Tower Bridge woven into the golden skull, it ties the heart of London to McQueen’s legacy, offering a deeply graphic and iconic visual tribute to the designer’s creative spirit and lasting impact on fashion.
Gary James McQueen's iconic piece, Savage Beauty, was exhibited at both the V&A and the Met Museum, celebrating the legacy and artistry of Alexander McQueen.
